Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Michael Atiyah's interest in Skyrmions and their relationship to monopoles and instantons is recalled. Some approximate models of Skyrmions with large baryon numbers are then considered. Skyrmions having particularly strong binding are clusters of unit baryon number Skyrmions arranged as truncated tetrahedra. Their baryon numbers, B = 4, 16, 40, 80, 140, 224, are the tetrahedral numbers multiplied by four, agreeing with the magic proton and neutron numbers 2, 8, 20, 40, 70, 112 occurring in the nuclear shell model in the absence of strong spin-orbit coupling.
